You can be an influencer doing anything on algo social media if you're attractive or crazy, for the same reason tabloids exist in the supermarket checkout line. Our lizard brain gives it a few seconds of attention. The robots can track this and will then send more of this content at us. It's profiting off human weakness. Entertaining ourselves to death.

New technologies alter the structure of our interests: the things we think about. They alter the character of our symbols: the things we think with. And they alter the nature of community: the arena in which thoughts develop.

Plattform ist ein witziger Begriff, wenn er als Verb verwendet wird: etwas, im Kontext hier zB Inhalte oder Kommunikation, plattformen. In meiner Kolumne im Blog von @campact: https://www.campact.de/blog/2026/02/neonazi-hack-social-plattformen/
Zum TV-Gerät, Flachbildfernseher früher, gibt es die schöne Note, dass Fernsehgeräte die einzige Technik sind, die sich den Inhalten anpasst: sie werden immer flacher. Ist das von #NeilPostman?

Wie #NeilPostman (*8. März 1931) seiner Zeit vorausdachteMit dem #Buch „#Wir_amüsieren_uns_zu_Tode“ wurde Neil #Postman #weltweit bekannt. Er vertrat die #These, dass das #Fernsehen die #Urteilsbildung der #Gesellschaft #gefährde und sie #orientierungslos mache. Heute wirken seine #Gedanken #aktueller denn je.

I friend sent me a clipping with this #quote...
"Ignorance now rules America. Not the simple, if somewhat innocent ignorance that comes from an absence of knowledge, but a malicious ignorance forged on the arrogance of refusing to think hard about an issue." -- Henry Giroux (The Terror of the Unforeseen)
I was unfamiliar with both the book and the author. His bibliography reminds me a bit of #NeilPostman.

I just read this excellent article on the Fediverse by @_elena. It clearly outlines some of its advantages and uses good analogies, but also discusses some of the challenges. It's worth reading!

Often I feel the solutions to our current problems lie at least 30 years ago. Here is Neil postman in the 90s explaining his rules for assessing technology, brilliant and funny.

🎭 Oh, so you're not just tired, you're in an existential crisis! 🤔 Thanks, Neil, for reminding us that our mundane struggles are actually just a lack of cosmic purpose. 🌌 Because clearly, it's not the endless Zoom calls or late-night emails, but a Nietzschean void that's leaving us unfulfilled. 🌀

Die Menschen in Schöne neue Welt leiden nicht daran, daß sie lachen, statt nachzudenken, sondern daran, daß sie nicht wissen, worüber sie lachen und warum sie aufgehört haben, nachzudenken.« 5/6 #NeilPostman

»Heute wissen wir, daß Sesam Straße die Kinder nur dann ermuntert, die Schule zu lieben, wenn es in der Schule zugeht wie in Sesam Straße.« #NeilPostman Wie soll Schule heute auf die TikTok-Kids reagieren?

- und ohne auf Widerspruch zu treffen. An Huxley, und nicht an Orwell, sollten wir uns deshalb halten, wenn wir verstehen wollen, auf welche Weise das Fernsehen und andere Bildformen die Grundlage der freiheitlichen Demokratie, nämlich die Informationsfreiheit, bedrohen.« 3/3 #NeilPostman
-
»Kurz: So wie sich der Werbespot im Fernsehen, um seine psychologische Arbeit leisten zu können, aller authentischen Informationen über das Produkt entledigt, so entledigt sich – und zwar aus demselben Grund – die Image-Politik aller authentischen politischen Substanz.« #NeilPostman
-
»Vielleicht geht es zu weit, wenn man sagt, der »prominente« Politiker habe die politischen Parteien bedeutungslos gemacht. Doch zweifellos gibt es einen Zusammenhang zwischen dem Aufstieg des prominenten Politikers und dem Niedergang der Parteien.« #NeilPostman
-
Daß die Verteidigung des nicht zu Verteidigenden als Amüsement betrieben werden könnte, kam ihm nicht in den Sinn. Er fürchtete im Politiker den Betrüger, nicht den Entertainer.« 3/3 #NeilPostman
-
»Wenn die Politik dem Showbusiness gleicht, dann kommt es nicht darauf an, überragende Leistungen, Klarheit und Redlichkeit anzustreben, sondern darauf, den Eindruck zu erwecken, man täte es – und das ist etwas ganz anderes.« #NeilPostman
-
Die Nachrichten entlocken uns eine Vielfalt von Meinungen, mit denen wir nur eines tun können – sie wiederum als Stoff für weitere Nachrichten anbieten, mit denen wir ebenfalls nichts anfangen können. …« 4/4 #NeilPostman (1985)
-
»Vielleicht sind wir inzwischen tatsächlich an dem Punkt angelangt, wo nicht mehr die Programmatik, sondern die Kosmetik das Gebiet ist, auf dem sich der Politiker wirklich auskennen muß.« #NeilPostman
-
Huxley befürchtete, daß die Wahrheit in einem Meer von Belanglosigkeit untergehen könnte. … Dieses Buch handelt von der Möglichkeit, daß Huxley und nicht Orwell recht hatte.« 2/2 #NeilPostman: »Wie amüsieren uns zu Tode« (1985; dt. 1988)

If all the secrets of adulthood, including sex, illness and death, are opened to children; cynicism, apathy or arrogance replace curiosity for them, short-circuiting education and moral development.
